Yes, unfortunately. The (rather unfortunate) name GLib was given to shared
libraries for PalmOS (not Linux) of the type produced by the GNU tools for
PalmPilot (the so called prc-tools). The home site for these is also
RyeHam.ee.ryerson.ca the same as the uClinux project, so perhaps that's
where the confusion comes from. Even more unfortunate is that prc-tools
contains a tiny libc, so more confusion.

Just confusion over unfortunate names (Ian Goldberg and I were not
thinking I guess).
